The Nintieth (to the One Hundred-and-Tenth) Doodle - Spitalfields Market Commission

Goodness me, 20 illustrations in a week and a half? Not including the black and white and colour version of the main promo image?

I am shattered.

This fantabulous opportunity came to light literally only about a month ago, when I sat in Crepe Affaire with a lovely lady from Old Spitalfields Market.
     "I love your art work, wanna do some images for our shops that will go on an interactive digi graffiti board from the 1st to the 22nd December?"
     "Yep, sounds good!"
(I may have paraphrased the conversation, but you get the drift.)

You can see full details of the event here, but if you pop down to the market and use the graffiti board to colour in my designs, you'll get a wee postcard print of your creation. Simply take this to the shop or restaurant featured that day to get great deals and discounts! AWESOME.

The Eightieth Doodle

 

 I am not a fashionable person. I know right, you are shocked. 'But you are so super trendy Ruth,' I hear you cry, well you can stop that weeping right now. I'm not. I just wear stuff I like, often stuff that 'aint cool.

That doesn't mean I don't like fashion though; I am fascinated by clothing design, structure and influence. Fashion illustration is a large portion of what I do, whether it be quite simple images of mainstream styles or slightly more off the wall alternative get ups. I love it all. Drawing the folds and drapes of fabric, how the light plays over it, how the form underneath affects it - HEAVEN.

I created the image above for Amelia's Magazine, a site all about fashion, art, music, design and basically anything rad. You can see it featured on the site here along with a write up about the Raw Talent University of the Arts Graduate Fashion Show - a good read for anyone interested in up and coming talent!
